Faulty door latches affect 2005-2006 smart fortwo

Mercedes-Benz Canada has just issued a recall on 10,242 smart fortwos from the 2005-2006 model years.

On certain vehicles, corrosion and/or dust accumulation may affect the driver and passenger door latches and cause the latch pawl to stick. If this occurs, the door will not latch when shut and will remain unsecured.

Mercedes-Benz Canada dealers will therefore replace the door latches with a modified version.
